Butter - Central U.S.

Released on May 14, 2025

Cream is plentiful throughout the Midwest, though contacts in the southern part 
of the region say increasing temperatures are having a negative impact on milk 
components. Ice cream makers are purchasing a greater volume of cream ahead of 
the summer. Despite this, butter makers say cream volumes are sufficient to run 
busy schedules. Some note they are currently at capacity and are unable to 
purchase additional spot loads of cream, even when offered favorable spot 
pricing. Butter makers continue to freeze butter for the fall and winter 
months, and spot purchasers say loads are available. Domestic butter prices are 
priced favorably to loads produced internationally and some manufacturers say 
this is contributing to increased export interest.

Prices for: Central, All First Sales, F.O.B., Grade AA, Edible Butter

Basis Pricing - 80% Butterfat:               0-0.05
